The Devil Offers You a Blunt. Do You Accept?
"We will have a game to see who can smoke for the longest, and whoever wins gets what they desire. But I already know what I desire.
Your soul."
You are in the city of Cape Town in the modern day, whether on vacation or because you've stayed here for all your life. Either way, there are many sights within this fine city, and none greater than that of Table Mountain, and in turn, the famous Devil's Peak where it is said the Devil once had a smoking match with retired sea captain, Van Hunks, and lost miserably, stealing the old man's soul out of rage.
But that's only a story, right?
And you want to hike up Devil's Peak to go see the wonderful sights as anyone would. And so, you make your way up to the peak, but then a cloud descends on you. Yet it isn't any ordinary cloud. No, it's smoke. The same kind that would come from a cigarette, except draping the entirety of the mountain like a tablecloth.
And from the smoke emerges a figure. An elderly woman dressed up in a suit, wearing the warmest smile.
All she wants is a little smoking match. There can be no harm in indulging her, right?
